Generally,pencil beam kernels for photon beam calculation are obtained through Monte Carlo calculations.In this paper,a pencil beam model is set up with a method of deconvolution from measured broad beam profiles.These profiles are usually available in a radiotherapy planning system.Furthermore,this method is applied to computing dose distributions at different sizes.Comparisons with measurements show that the accuracy of the calculated dose distributions fits well in a1%error interval in high dose gradient regions.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the stability of garlic oil-hydropropyl-?-cyclodextrin(HP-?-CD)inclusion complex.METHODS:With diallyl trisulfide(DATS)as determination index,the water solution of garlic oil HP-?-CD in-clusion complexes,freeze-drying powders of inclusion complex and the garlic oil injections were respectively subjected to il-lumination,high temperature,dilution tests and accelerated tests,and long-term sample observation tests by gas chro-matography(GC).RESULTS:The content of DATS in freeze-drying powders of inclusion complex had a minimum reduc-tion among the three under conditions of illumination and high temperature.In the accelerated tests and long-term sample observation tests,almost all the determination indexes of freeze-drying powders remained unchanged and a good stability was noted.Within10h,all the different diluents showed no significant effects on the indexes of the inclusion complex.CON-CLUSIONS:As compared with garlic oil injections,the garlic oil inclusion complex had a higher stability,freeze-drying powders of inclusion complex showed the best stability,yet the storing of which still needed to be under a proper temperature and away from light.

Objective To study enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods A case-control study was conducted on 56 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital from May 2012 to December 2016.These patients were divided into two groups:25 patients received ERAS management (the ERAS group) and 31 patients traditional perioperative management (the control group).The data on postoperative pancreatic leakage,bile leakage,postoperative bleeding,delayed gastric emptying,postoperative intestinal function recovery,hospitalization stay,medical cost and readmission rate within 90 days between the two groups were compared.Results The rate of delayed gastric emptying,postoperative intestinal function recovery,hospitalization stay and medical cost were significantly better in the ERAS group than the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the rates of pancreatic leakage,bile leakage,postoperative bleeding,and readmission within 90 days between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Perioperative ERAS in pancreaticoduodenectomy was safe and efficacious.It improved recovery of patients and reduced hospital stay and expenses.

Objective:To assess the anatomy of superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) and its feasibility for tongue re-construction after tumor resection. Methods:From January 2014 to January 2015, a total of 15 patients with oral maxillofacial defects underwent SCIP flap surgery. Perforator identification and SCIA course were performed intra-operatively. The relationships among the SCIA, deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA), and superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) were determined intra-operatively. Surgical procedures, measurement of vessel's caliber and pedicle's length, SCIP flap anatomy, and their outcomes were described. Results:Flap mean thickness was approximately 1.2±0.3 cm. The mean diameter of the SCIA was 0.7±0.2 cm, and that of the superficial circumflex iliac vein was 1.2±0.2 cm. The relationships among SCIA, DCIA, and SIEA were described and subdivided into typeⅠ(8/15), typeⅡ(2/15), typeⅢ(2/15), typeⅣ(2/15), and typeⅤ(1/15) in intra-operative dissection. The flap sizes were in the range from 6 cm × 4.5 cm to 11 cm × 10 cm. A total of 14 SCIP flaps survived, and 1 SCIP flap underwent necrosis. Conclusion:The SCIP flap is a reliable, thin, and pliable flap with long vascular pedicles and hidden donor site morbidity. Its texture is a perfect match for tongue defect reconstruc-tion.

Objective To study the application of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) portography in diagnonsis of pancreatic portal hypertension. Methods Forty-seven patients with lesion in body or tail of pancrease,47 normal subjects and 126 patients with portal hypertension underwent MSCT portography with LightSpeed 16 CT scanner. The inner diameter of portal system and the main collateral veins were measured in maximun intensity projection (MIP) image. The volume of liver and spleen were also measured in volume rendering (VR) image. The liver parenchyma and main portal vein enhancement in portal vein phase were also taken. The endoscopy examination was made in 57 patiens with portal hypertension. Results In 47 patiens with lesion in body or tail of pancreas , stenosis or occlusion of spleen vein were found in 38 patients(pancreatic portal hypertension in 27 patients, chronic and acute pancreatitis in 11 patients). In 38 patients with pancreatic portal hypertension, esophageal varices was found in 5 patients(13.2%), gastric fundus varix in 25 patients (65.8%), gastric body variees in 22 patients (57.9%), short-gastric vein/post-gastric vein(SGV/PGV) in 26 patients (68.4%), coronal gastric vein in 26 patients (68.4%),dilated gasto-omenta vein in 24 patients(63.2%), mesenterica varicesin 1 patient, splenic vein occlusion in 14 patients (36.8%), splenic vein stenosis in 23 patinets(63.2%). Conclusions The patients with pancreatic portal hypertension were demonstrate characteristic changes in MSCT portography. The MSCT portography is helpful in etiological diagnosis of pancreatic portal hypertension by supplying images in vessel morphology.

Objective To establish a single-tube detecting system for the simultaneous identification of JAK2 V617F and JAK2 exon12 mutations.Methods Genomic DNA of cell line PC-3 was utilized as the wild type control,while genomic DNA of cell line HEL and plasmids with diverse JAK2 exon 12 mutations were used as the positive controls for JAK2 V617F and exon12 mutations.Multiplex PCR was performed to amplify the different amplicons combined with high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis,which established the multiplex detecting system for JAK2 V617F and exon12 mutations.Meanwhile 42 cases of polycythemia vera patients were collected to detect 2 kinds of JAK2 mutations by the above system and routine methods.Results The multiplex JAK2 mutations detecting system was successfully established by multiplex PCR combined with high-resolution melting curve analysis,which could simultaneously detect JAK2 V617F and JAK2 exon12 mutations.The analytical sensitivities of 2 mutations in this system were both up to 5％ and the precision (coefficient of variation) of intra-and inter-assay of the melting temperature (Tm) of 2 amplicons were separately less than 0.01％.37 cases were identified JAK2 V617F mutations from 42 polycythemia vera patients,while 2 JAK2 exon12 mutations cases were found from 5 JAK2 V617F negative patients.Compared with routine methods,the results matched the rate of 100％.Two cases of JAK2 exon 12 mutations were confirmed to the mutation types of H538K539delinsL and F537-I546dul10 + F547L by cloning and sequencing.Conclusions This method can simultaneously detect two kinds of JAK2 mutations in the peripheral blood and will contribute to the molecular diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms,especially polycythemia vera.

Objective To investigate the effects of vagus nerve electrostimulation (VNS) on the brain damage of rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion model and its mechanism. Methods Twenty four adult male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups (12 each): MCAO/reperfusion group (MCAO group) and MCAO/reperfusion+VNS group (MCAO+VNS group). Subsequently, the neurological function deficit was determined by neurological scoring according to Zea Long scoring method 24h after MCAO/reperfusion. The cerebral infarction volume was determined by TTC assay. The cell apoptosis in brain damage zone was determined by TUNEL assay. Then, the effect of VNS on cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and p-CREB protein expression was determined by Western blotting. The effect of VNS on Bcl-2 and Bax expression was determined by immunohistochemistry assay. Results Compared with MCAO group, VNS significantly inhibited MCAO-induced neurological deficit (P<0.01), decreased brain infarct volume (P<0.01) and cell apoptosis (P<0.01), increased the expression of p-CREB protein (P<0.01) and the number of Bcl-2-position cells (P<0.01) together with decreasing the number of Bax-position cells (P<0.01). However, VNS did not affect the expression of CREB protein (P>0.05). Conclusion VNS may ameliorate MCAO-induced neurological deficit and decrease brain infarct volume, which may be related to the promotion of p-CREB protein expression level.
